Colorado AI Act

Receipt evidence and the transition to Colorado's ADMT framework

Colorado SB 26-189 repeals and reenacts SB 24-205. Its automated decision-making technology (ADMT) deployer requirements apply to consequential decisions made on or after 1 January 2027. Asqav's colorado_ai report retains the SB 24-205 section mapping shown below. An assessment against the SB 26-189 ADMT requirements is not yet available.

Asqav signs submitted AI agent actions with ML-DSA, binds them to the deployer's policy artefact via policy_digest, and chains receipts so an auditor can reconstruct the period covered by an impact assessment without reading the underlying payload.

The receipt format is profiled in the IETF Internet-Draft draft-marques-asqav-compliance-receipts, which includes the SB 24-205 mapping to Sections 6-1-1703(2), 6-1-1703(3), and 6-1-1703(7). These references describe that report mapping, not the replacement ADMT obligations.

SB 24-205 report mapping

Section SB 24-205 requirement Asqav binding
6-1-1703(2) Implement a risk-management policy and programme for the High-Risk AI System. policy_digest resolves through the audit pack to the deployer's risk-management policy in force at action time. Risk-bearing actions carry the risk_class extension.
6-1-1703(3) Complete an impact assessment annually and within 90 days of any intentional and substantial modification. Query type, policy_digest, and previousReceiptHash to identify the receipts in the assessment window, including any policy changes within that period.
6-1-1703(7) On determination of algorithmic discrimination, record the determination and the affected actions. Emit a protectmcp:lifecycle receipt naming the affected action_ref values and a reason code.

Bring-your-own KMS, customer-owned storage, and on-prem mode are available for deployer profiles that disallow outbound traffic. See the docs for the full mapping and the IETF draft for the binding text.
